The world of health and wellness mourned the loss of Dr. Michael Mosley, a beloved British TV presenter, author, and science communicator.
After going missing on a hike on the Greek island of Symi, his body was found on Sunday morning after a days-long search.
Mosley was known for his adventurous spirit and dedication to exploring the science behind health.
His most famous work, perhaps, was "The Fast Diet," a book co-authored with journalist Mimi Spencer.
This book introduced the concept of the 5:2 diet, a plan that encouraged restricting calorie intake for two days a week while eating normally on the remaining five.
He was a regular guest on BBC television and radio, using his platform to explain complex scientific concepts in a way that everyone could understand.
His co-host on the program "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor," Dr. Saleyha Ahsan, praised his ability to connect with a broad audience,
"He wasn't just for a niche scientific crowd, but for everyone."
Tributes poured in from across the globe upon news of his passing.
Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver credited Dr. Mosley with "changing the conversation around health issues," while former UK politician Tom Watson called him a "hero" who helped countless people improve their health.
The circumstances surrounding Dr. Mosley's death remain unclear.
His wife, Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley, shared in a statement that he likely took a wrong turn while hiking and collapsed in an area difficult to see from the main path.
She expressed her deep gratitude to the people of Symi who tirelessly searched for her husband. "Some of these people on the island, who hadn't even heard of Michael, worked from dawn till dusk unasked," she said.
Dr. Michael Mosley leaves behind a legacy of scientific exploration, clear communication, and a passion for a healthy life.
He will be remembered as a kind, funny, and enthusiastic personality who made a positive impact on millions.
